Dodgers have a deal in place. Unless the Phillies are dumb enough to cough Crawford, done. It's done. Too bad. Wish the Phillies would have gone all in on a rental. Honestly, it's a good measure of what we could have got for Harper if he had hit to his career averages. And to think, people laughed at me for wanting to trade Harper to the Sox for Betts, Bogaerts, and Henry Owens.

Not really. Maybe because of injury, but even that’s debatable. He still was given a hell of a better bullpen than Dusty and most former Nats managers had to deal with. The Nats talent level is stacked on paper but injuries have hurt them. I guess the easy going spring training didn’t help with that like it was supposed to.

turtle28 Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Can’t believe Davey left Stras in during that 5th inning last night, just an awful managerial decision. I was at the game, what a disappointing game to have just after the all-star break to a division rival that you must beat if you have any hopes at winning the division. It was nice to see Zimmerman get some at bats, even if he didn’t do anything. https://sports.yahoo.com/news/nats-strasburg-loses-beefs-scherzer-braves-win-8-035314704--mlb.html Birthday boy Stephen Strasburg and Nationals ace Max Scherzer are leaving it at that. Strasburg was batted around by the Atlanta Braves, then engaged in a heated spat with Scherzer in the dugout during the Washington Nationals' 8-5 loss Friday night. The Nationals delayed opening their clubhouse to reporters after the game, and Strasburg then offered no clarification for the animated discussion between him and Scherzer. The Nats are imploding, and they don’t have the experienced manager like they had last year with Dusty to hold it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never believed the Nats are as good as most fans think. They usually skate by with 90 plus wins in one of the worst divisions in baseball and then lose in the NLDS. They’re overrated, and always have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he supposed to pull him after 4 innings of work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
